This note presents a fuzzy optimization of Gabor filter-based object and text detection. The derivation of a 2D Gabor filter and the guidelines for the fuzzification of the filter parameters are described. The fuzzy Gabor filter proved to be a robust text an object detection method in low-quality input images as extensively evaluated in the problem of license plate localization. The extended set of examples confirmed that the fuzzy optimized Gabor filter with adequately fuzzified parameters detected the desired license plate texture components and highly improved the object detection when compared to the classic Gabor filter. The robustness of the proposed approach was further demonstrated on other images of various origin containing text and different textures, captured using low-cost or modest quality acquisition procedures. The possibility to fine tune the fuzzification procedure to better suit certain applications offers the potential to further boost detection performance.

ABSTRACTDetecting cancer signals in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) high-throughput sequencing data is emerging as a novel non-invasive cancer detection method. Due to the high cost of sequencing, it is crucial to make robust and precise prediction with low-depth cfDNA sequencing data. Here we propose a novel approach named DISMIR, which can provide ultrasensitive and robust cancer detection by integrating DNA sequence and methylation information in plasma cfDNA whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data. DISMIR introduces a new feature termed as “switching region” to define cancer-specific differentially methylated regions, which can enrich the cancer-related signal at read-resolution. DISMIR applies a deep learning model to predict the source of every single read based on its DNA sequence and methylation state, and then predicts the risk that the plasma donor is suffering from cancer. DISMIR exhibited high accuracy and robustness on hepatocellular carcinoma detection by plasma cfDNA WGBS data even at ultra-low sequencing depths. Analysis showed that DISMIR tends to be insensitive to alterations of single CpG sites’ methylation states, which suggests DISMIR could resist to technical noise of WGBS. All these results showed DISMIR with the potential to be a precise and robust method for low-cost early cancer detection.

SummaryA method using multiplex PCR followed by cycle-sequencing has been developed to detect mutations in the FIX gene. The procedure was evaluated in 45 severe or mild haemophilia B patients from 45 unrelated families. At least one deleterious mutation was identified in every haemophiliac demonstrating the efficiency of the method. Furthermore the described procedure offers many advantages compared to other screening detection methods: it is fast (less than 48 h), simple (partly automated) and of relatively low cost (it requires only one PCR).

With the development of Chinese economy, China has become one of the largest countries in terms of foreign trade in the world, and CNY has also ranked second among the currencies all over the world. Thus, the anti-fake and detection technologies for CNY banknotes are also confronted with new challenges. In this paper, ultraviolet-light currency detector and transmission detector, which are two types of simple but practical electronic instrument, are designed by means of the analysis and research on the different optical properties of genuine and fake CNY banknotes respectively. They can be designed with low cost, have a good effect in detection, and may be widespread easily.

A simple, sensitive, green and low cost detection method based on the cloud point extraction (CPE) separation and spectrophotometry was proposed for the determination of lead. In pH=9.0 H3BO3 buffer solution, Pb(II) reacts with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) in the presence of Triton X-100 yielding a hydrophobic complex, which then is extracted into micro-volume surfactant-rich phase. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 20-400 µg/L (at 560 nm). Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits of 10.94 µg/L and the relative standard deviations(RSD) of 2.0% (n=5) for Lead(II) were found, respectively. The sensitivity and absorbance of this method are at least five times higher when compared with that of usual 5-Br-PADAP spectrophotometry without CPE, and the proposed method has been applied to the determination of Lead in environment water samples with satisfactory results.
